Is it just me, or are the biggest adherents of Socialism in America seem to be mostly privileged millennials who have never experienced real adversity
and just want free stuff?

Or people that have some kind of government or government-related job?

Nearly all of these, or anything that can be done about all of these, has more to do with Congress than anyone or anything else. The fact is the next
person in the presidency is not just going to make our wishes come true, they can't, the very people that have stolen our freedom are still going to
have the power.

Which is why I'm voting bernie sanders.

He's a movement, not just a man. It's the american people wanting change, standing up for it. We will not vote in a man who could implement a social
political system which represents the highest quality of life in the world ( fact, by the way) and then sit on the sidelines and let Congress yank us
around for another long time.

I do wish people would stop saying "well, if not bernie...", just because hes been gaining huge amounts of momentum, and doesn't seem an end to his
momentum is in sight. I say bernie all the way. Even if it's a write in come election day - millions of people want him in, let's not distract
ourselves with other possibilities when our main guy has every chance.

I admit, I don't know exactly how European countries and some others like Norway, Switzerland and the like work, but does their government really
control the means of production?

If so, sounds like we shouldn't go that route.

If not, you need to update your outdated definition of socialism to include other models such as the ones I mention, as sanders intends to emulate
Switzerland ( highest percentage of millionaires for the record.) and most of ats mean socialism as practiced in some of those countries

I'm a liberal Democrat myself and definitely go for trump over Hilary. I don't like the guy, but I also haven't seen him linked to many suspicious
deaths, incompetent acts that ended lives, threatened national security, etc. He also doesn't give shady back room speeches for insane prices - what
the hell is she promising them?

Trump is a loud narcissist that says things people don't like - pretty much politician material and par for the course, while hillary is an insane
psychopath that might just kill to get her way..
